Where do I get it? https://oracle.github.io/python-cx_Oracle The easiest method to install/upgrade cx_Oracle is via pip as in python -m pip install cx_Oracle --upgrade What's new? This release focused on support for Oracle Client 18 libraries, with support added for call timeouts and SODA (Simple Oracle Document Access). A number of smaller changes were also made to improve the experience of using cx_Oracle. These include re-enabling the pool pinging functionality for Oracle 12.2 and higher to handle classes of connection errors such as resource profile limits; improved error messages when a feature requires a particular version of Oracle Client libraries or Oracle Database; better handling of objects when the connection that created them is closed; better handling of connections when the pool that created them is destroyed; etc. See the release notes for more information: https://cx-oracle.readthedocs.io/en/latest/releasenotes.html#version-7-0-september-2018 Please provide any feedback via GitHub issues ( https://github.com/oracle/python-cx_Oracle/issues). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
